Scribbles About Food: New Starbucks Lemon Bar Frap!

Heyyy guys! Exciting news: Starbucks released 6 new Frappucinos and I'm going to have to try them all... but the one that stuck out to me was the Lemon Bar Frap! It seemed the most different to me and I was excited to give this one a try!

So my Starbucks is cooler than yours... lol. No but the Barristas are super nice and really good an mine added extra lemonade... so the one I got had a ton of flavor to it! Also she added graham crackers on top, they didn't have the caramel sugar that was supposed to be on top and the graham cracker made it better in my opinion anyway...

When I first tasted it it tasted like straight up Lemon meringue pie. It was so amazing! The lemon flavor was really good and it tasted pretty much like I expected it to taste. Which is something like Chick Fil A's Lemon Meringue Pie. I no longer support Chick Fil A... but this was the first experience I had ever had with Lemon Meringue Pie and it was quite tasty. So all lemon Meringue Pies have since been compared to Chick Fil A because that's the first one I had... and none can really compare lol. Except this.

So the first few sips were absolutely out of this world... then I kind of just started drinking it and its not that it was bad... but the more I started drinking it the more it just tasted like lemonade to me. Just like a frozen lemonade. It wasn't bad at all... but it wasn't exactly as Lemon Bar as it was lemonade. If you mix it a little bit and especially mix it with the whipped cream, it keeps the lemon bar flavor a bit more. It tastes absolutely wonderful.

Now is this better than Cool Ranch Doritos... its on par. The flavor sophistication is there. I don't totally know if they're comparable... but yes its better than Cool Ranch Doritos for arguments sake. I drank this today, I didn't eat Cool Ranch Doritos. I am sort of trying to eat less junk and stay healthier, so it was kind of me choosing this instead of cool ranch doritos, and it was a good trade off. I was happy.

What it reminded me of a lot... which makes me incredibly excited for it... years ago Snapple did something called Snapple Pie and they had an Apple Pie flavor... out of this world! It really REALLY tasted like apple pie, but like a really good apple cry. The crust consistency was there, but it worked... it was really good. I loved it and wish they brought it back because it was awesome. This is the closest thing to that that I've tried. This Snapple Pie was made... over 10 years ago. It makes me really happy. I'm happy about that. And yes, I'd say its probably better than Apple Pie Snapple. Soooo... thats even better!

Let me know if you tried this and if you liked it! I would definitely recommend it! Really cool!

Byeee!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Uhhhh... Where Have I been?

 So it hasn't been that long- but I did mention that I wanted to keep this more of a daily-ish blog than I have in years past... and my last post was the  4th and today was the 11th. Did I give up on my resolutions already?  No/Sort of... sooo basically I was kind of considering the real start of the new year January 5th... I was very busy with work things up until the 4th... the 4th was the big work event that I had to do... and then after that I could focus on whatever I wanted to focus on... and my blogs were going to be the number 1 thing that I focused on for sure... I might miss a few days... but surely I'd do something for this blog right on the 5th after the big work thing was done... so just leading up to that as long as I post something- everything is good right?  Nope- I realized my room design... needed some refreshing. And then one project turned into several projects and then that took a few days... I think I started on doing stuff on Wednesday of last ...

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...
